    was hoping to see some clear improvements in this six week stretch but we went backwards today due to an outdated gameplan.

    As a starting point, Hunt can take a spell. Painful to watch. And he can lose the headband whilst he's at it. Perhaps look to play Toby Bedford to see if he can exert some forward pressure. No better time than now.

    not the reason we lost, but the inter-state bias when it comes to free kicks needs to be fixed, i don't know how but the way inter-state crowds can influence decisions and the lack of consistency applied to visiting teams is infuriating.

    Came down to a few things:

    Gawn getting injured

    Getting smashed in the middle/Clearances

    Hipwood’s 15 minutes of fame.

    36 Tackles is woeful

    TMac drinking the bathwater from 20 minutes of good football last week (he was seriously ? for 3 quarters last week, and this week)

     Weids simply not up to it

    Petty a sacrificial lamb for Goodwin, wtf was he trying to prove?

    Sorry, but Goodwin has hit the wall. He has no ability to change things mid game. 

    It still looks like Preliminary  Final 2018 on repeat....

    Trade Bait: Hunt, Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca, TMac, Omac

     

    Get rid of anyone who can’t hit a handpass. Hit the draft, stockpile top 20 picks.

    Depth at this club is non existent, the starting 22 are disinterested and mostly bad decision makers, Viney, TMac, Gus & Oliver, all shocking today.

    32 scoring shots to 19... we were lucky to be within the proverbial bull's roar

    I'd prefer Jade Rawlings. Very shaky match day coach imo.

    I would take either of the Scotts over the imbecile we have running the show atm

    He is not even close to being an AFL-standard coach.

    Probably in the change rooms right now handing out hugs and bum-pats.

    Whoever decided to extend him for 3 years can go as well.

    Yeah, im [censored].

    Also, the GABBA is a [censored] venue at 3:20 time slot. You have to deal with the sun in the first half and then it was almost a wet weather slip fest in the second half.

    only getting 3 centre clearances well into Q4 absolutely killed us,  that is an area we are usually very strong in but apparently thats gone to shīt as well (max's injury probably did not help), but even when we won the hitout we would still stuff around, over-handball and it would rebound. really scratching my head as to how we can improve? :(

    Looking at the positives it can no longer be paraded that we have been unlucky and time will sort this. Our list is dreadful and while Goodwin is coach we wont improve. There need to be serious change and the club need to accept that fact. When Roos left I had my doubts about Goodwin he is another Neeld. The whole board should also hang there head in shame. This just goes on year after year with the same crap spun to supporters. Who could have any confidence we won’t finish last next year where that bad. This is not just about one player but about a club culture that has existed for 50 years.

    The  lads showed how desperate they are to salvage something from the season. A cracking 36 tackle effort. Very proud of the team again.

    It is, and always has been, a bridge too far for people playing for this club to scrap and fight for wins to drag this club up from being a genuine embarrassment.

    Too many MFC players didn't want the ground ball today and instead played/sweated the man, often running straight past the contest.  Some of our boys didnt want it and most of the Lion mids and others did.

    Soft as butter and oh so predictable from Goody & Co.

    The only thing that's changed is we've changed a few coaches.

    It's the same crash bash 'numbers at the contest' manic game style under Goody that will never win many matches unless you have your top 20 to 22 players in and playing at their best and in peak fitness.

    Three more years of this trash?  The MFC hierarchy will no doubt keep towing the improvement/development line during the entire tenure, hoping the fans will take the bait!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
